PETALING JAYA: The decision to create a fast track quarantine process for Cabinet ministers is specifically to address the country’s investment woes, says Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.

He explains that the exemption order, which will allow for a shortened period of three days of observation for ministers returning from official overseas visits, comes with many conditions and is not as simple as it seems.
